Kevin P. Nichols (@kpnichols) of Sapient Nitro talked to the Intelligent Content Conference 2014 crowd about creating an omnichannel content approach for their organizations. Whether large or small, principles of the omnichannel approach can help any content strategy.
Every big box retailer is now looking at omnichannel and making significant investments. It's a shift from creating content by organizational silos into creating content solely for the user, but for the betterment of the business.
Omnichannel approaches should be familiar with people, whether content-savvy or not. Think: Martha Stewart. Nichols believes she is the Mother of Omnichannel.
Martha Stewart's company is not a product company, it's a content company. Cookbooks, television, cooking utensils, etc.—she's an omnichannel empire.
He reminded us that omnichannel is NOT a fad, as it's a serious discipline for many large brands globally.
Nichols walked the crowd through some definitions, some rules of engagement, and a quick roadmap on how to deploy an omnichannel content initiative.
To Nichols, content is any information that we can record. With that definition, content are the building blocks for an experience.
At Sapient Nitro, the content strategy framework includes the content experience, delivery method, and governance that sets it all up.
Omnichannel and Personalization
While multichannel means "for more than one device," omnichannel provides content at every customer channel and considers time, manner, and place. It asks questions like,
Omnichannel addresses the entire customer experience, across channels and throughout time. The relationship between user and brand content is constant and cyclical.
Personalization within an omnichannel approach includes data usage that personalizes how we experience content across channels. For instance, sniffing out demographic data in browsers to alter and customize customer experience. Something like, "Oh, hello Mr. Nhem. Looks like you LOVE Portland (based on browsing data). Buy our rain jackets!"
Rules of Engagement
- Customers are in an always-on world. They want information when they need it: immediately. This always-on mindset should be a guiding principle for our content and storytelling.
- Singular channel engagement is dead. Most users experience your brand in more than one channel.
- It starts with the user. We need to know more than who they are. We need to conduct user research to generate customer insights, quantitative and qualitative personas, use scenarios—anything we can use to understand the user. The content strategy needs to consider whom the user is at all times during the process.
- Crafting an omnichannel approach requires understanding the user journey toward completing a task.
- It's performance-driven. Requires evaluation. Evaluation drives future decision-making.
How It's Done
Nichols walked us through a roadmap for a big business omnichannel scenario.
Creating a Foundation
- Who are your users? Compare users to their user personas periodically and evaluate if the journey and user tasks are still accurate.
- What business objectives need to be met? This is quite subjective, depending on the organization. Bottom line: the approach needs to accomplish something for the business!
- What tasks do they need to accomplish? E.g. Buying a product, signing up for an event, sharing content with others.
- Define the journey across channels: Map out the user tasks across the different channels and figure what kinds of things they can do within the channels towards accomplishing their tasks and satisfying your business objective. User journeys for omnichannel approaches are often non-linear and very dynamic. It's much different than the typical business customer sales funnel (start to close).
- Define metrics to gauge performance. Collect user data to validate the user journey across channels. Measure things from web analytics to click streams to conversion frequency—anything that lets you evaluate the omnichannel performance.
Get what you need to launch on the channels you can. Remember that omnichannel is performance driven. Create opportunities for review and optimize the omnichannel approach.
Identifying tasks towards improving the omni approach, such as applying specific technology to enrich the customer experience or modifying and improving processes toward increasing the performance of the omnichannel approach.
Anyone Can Jump In
While Nichols deploys omnichannel approaches for Fortune 100 clients, he encouraged any and all organizations to use principles of omnichannel for their content success. Even small business can do it. We just need to take best practices to touch upon the entire customer journey as much as we can.
Throughout our own journeys as content strategists that craft omnichannel approaches, we need to keep asking ourselves, How do you continue to meet user needs after your initial experience? How do we continue to meet those needs throughout the entire journey?

But of course, these aren't refurbs.

I'm a big fan of refurb electronics. So far, so good.
If you are one of those crazy black friday shopper kind of people, Target is offering the 16 gig iPod touch (new) for 195, and you get a 40.00 target gift card, net 155.00 Not a bad deal - I'll leave it up to you to decide if facing the Black Friday insanity is worth your time.
Apple's refurbs are quality items. That's one brand I have no qualms about buying less-than-new. It's the 8 gig that kills it for me. The reason I still have a Classic is its 120 gig capacity.

What's the Difference Between Primal and Paleo?
Posted By Worker Bee On November 12, 2008 @ 9:59 am In Fat,Reviews | 138 Comments
We hear/read it all the time – the comparison of the Primal Blueprint and the so-called Paleo Diet, for which Loren Cordain is the most recognized voice. Sure, it's a perfectly reasonable association to make, but we thought we'd take some time to address the other side of the coin today.
The Paleo Diet and Primal Blueprint, it's true, are based on similar evolutionary science. The story goes something like this. Our modern Western diet bears little resemblance to the eating habits of early humans throughout 100,000+ years of evolutionary history. Instead, since the agricultural revolution some mere 10,000 years ago, we've adopted a nutritional regime that our physiology wasn't and still isn't adequately adapted to. When the basics of our diet return to the patterns of our pre-agricultural ancestors, we're operating with, instead of against, our natural physiology. More simply: eat as our ancestors ate, and we'll be healthier for it [7].
More specifically, the Paleo Diet and Primal Blueprint both suggest, limit carb intake (especially grains [8]), eat more protein [9] and include lots of veggies [10] as a base. But in the midst of this common ground are some significant interpretational differences and approaches. Association, comparison – sure. But conflation? Not so fast.
A fundamental difference? The role of saturated fats. Cordain and many within the paleo community continue to harbor a fear of saturated fats [11] as the bogey that raises cholesterol [12] and instigates heart disease instead of a critical source of nutrients for neurological functioning and other essential physiological processes. Partaking of only lean meats, eschewing butter [13] and coconut oil [14] (two Primal Blueprint favorites based on health benefits supported by extensive research), restricting egg consumption [15] – this is not your Granddaddy Grok's diet.
As many critics of the Paleo Diet have pointed out, early humans left virtually nothing of the animal carcasses they were so fortunate to bag. And the fact is they favored not the lean muscle meat but the richer organ meats [16], bone marrow and even fat deposits themselves. Grok [17], after all, was just trying to get enough calories and nutrients to stay alive from one day to the next. The denser in energy, the more valued the food. (And, can we add here, more tasty?)
And then there's the discrepancies surrounding other fats. Sure, there's a general agreement about the importance of omega 3:6 balance [18], but the particulars diverge. In the Primal Blueprint, unlike Cordain's version of the Paleo Diet, omega 3 sources like canola oil [19] are suspect. The fact is, the deodorization process that canola oil is nearly always subjected to removes the omega 3 content. But when you've written off saturated fat sources (like good old coconut oil), you're pretty much stuck wading in the murky waters of processed polyunsaturated products. What's wrong with this picture?
Also at issue is the role of diet sodas (allowed by Cordain) and other artificial sweeteners. The opinion of many in the paleo community is that as long as it's not sugar, it's acceptable. Working around the problem like this seems to be nothing more than a manipulation. Although the Primal Blueprint doesn't demonize the occasional use of artificial sweeteners [20], it makes the stipulation that its use should be limited to foods or beverages that will inherently add something positive to the diet. In other words, if you aren't getting anything positive from the meal or drink, you shouldn't be taking the risk of the artificial sweetener. A better angle? Expand your cooking repertoire. Train your taste buds in the right direction, and don't let the artificial stuff get in the way of that progress.
Finally and most importantly, the Primal Blueprint works as a broad, holistic approach to living and not simply a list for eating. While the majority of the underlying assumptions and suggestions of the Paleo Diet are generally sound, the diet encompasses only a fraction of what it takes to live a healthy life in the modern world.
The Primal Blueprint recommends wise supplementation appropriate to counter the stressors and toxins unique to our life today. (Grok didn't have it all bad.) In its fitness and stress management [21] approach, the Blueprint further highlights and capitalizes on our natural physiological functioning. The Blueprint emphasizes the overlap of good diet with essential fitness [22] and relaxation principles [23] to maximize muscle mass and organ reserve [24] and to defend against the inflammation [25], sarcopenia and other preventable factors behind the aging process.
And isn't it a comfort to know that power over your health is seated in more than diet? The big picture of a healthy, fit and happy lifestyle involves more than isolating a specific issue. The Primal Blueprint [26] was designed for the purpose of offering a guide for all elements of healthy living. Let's face it, some days life makes it particularly difficult to have the perfect diet. We like to think of the Primal Blueprint design as a comprehensive cover, so to speak. The knowledge and efforts you exert in each area (diet, fitness, supplementation, stress management, sleep [27], etc.) can make a difference when the realities of day to day life keep you from doing a 100% in a given area.
So, now we'll ask you about your experiences with the Primal Blueprint and how you came to it? Did you come to the PB from a Paleo perspective? What are your thoughts on the differences and the added dimensions of the Primal Blueprint?
P.S. What do you think of all the links throughout the article? Too many? Overkill? Distracting? Or do you appreciate the links to archived posts? Thanks for the feedback!

News Details
Morris joins Caterham Academy
Caterham have signed Seb Morris to their Racing Academy, meaning he will receive support from the F1 team during this year's Formula Renault NEC season.The 18-year-old Welshman finished as runner-up in the inaugural BRDC F4 Championship last year, showing consistency throughout the season by finishing 23 of the 24 races, with 22 of those top-ten results.
Morris will graduate to a European championship for the first time next season and he is hoping the support from Caterham will see him replicate the success fellow Brit Matt Parry - who is also a member of the F1 team's Academy - had in the NEC in last year.
"Joining the Caterham Academy is pretty huge for me," Morris said....

Slow Cooker Beef/Pork Recipes (Most Popular)
2065 results - showing 11 to 20I got this from the Fix It and Forget It Lightly cookbook. It calls for any diet soda. I actually used Diet Dr. Pepper. I used Kraft Original Barbecue Sauce. Finally, I'm not an onion person, so I skipped them--and used minced onion instead. It was ABSOLUTELY delicious! The only hard part is eating JUST ONE SERVING!Submitted by PEACHJAM6288

These stuffed pork chops are comfort food at its finest. Better yet, you only need to do about 15 minutes of work!Submitted by LYNDSAY81283
Just like Grandma used to make, she always served this over mashed potatoes with steamed green beans or a tossed salad. Mmmm comfort food!Submitted by PSYCHEDOUT
This is the easiest way to cook a pork tenderloin. Submitted by HOTMAMA02
The meat does not need to be seared in skillet first to make this fall-apart tender, pulled BBQ beef for sandwiches. This recipe has so much flavor no one will notice the Worcestshire sauce & the salt were deleted to reduce sodium (you may also use low-sodium catsup and BBQ to reduce sodium further). Using molasses instead of brown sugar and Worcestshire gives a depth of flavor and authenticity, while reducing sugar & sodium. It is great to take to picnics, buffets, or tailgating. Freezes well.

BioGreen Solutions is the founder and leader of the Proactive Indoor Contaminate Management industry (PICM).
BioGreen Solutions leads the way in providing efficient and affordable solutions to proactively help safeguard against a broad spectrum of bacteria, viruses, mycotoxins and their accompanying odors.
For 40 years, Weed Man Lawn Care has taken environmental stewardship seriously as they help lawns to thrive with a range of safe, eco-friendly fertilization, weed-control, and pest-management services. The company's team of landscaping specialists—whose backgrounds include degrees in turf management and biology, certifications in turf and ornamentals, and years of experience in the green industry—use an exclusive blend of slow-release, granular fertilizers to nourish lawns and to strengthen their resistance against weeds, insects, and telemarketers. Safe, naturally occurring ingredients ensure that children, pets, and lawn gnomes can romp unrestrained on newly treated lawns, and advanced equipment calibrates the proper amount of EPA–approved weed-control product to ensure each lawn gets just the right dosage.
Turf Pro Inc's trained technicians safeguard water systems from harsh winter damage by removing aqua drops from pipelines before popping by to restart sprinklers when the weather warms. After educating patrons about winterization techniques, sprinkler specialists force large volumes of air through the system's pipelines via an air compressor, which blows out every drop of water, and close off systems until spring. Poorly maintained hydration systems can bear witness to a number of frozen calamities, such as cracked backflows, broken sprinkler heads, and an accumulation of inner-pipe ice sculptures, which can prevent proper lawn saturation and lead to costly repairs. Once the springtime sun returns to warm ground fur, Turf Pro technicians return to the homestead and thoroughly check all pipes, replace any broken heads, and adjust controller modules to modify watering schedules, fostering growth and discouraging home invasions by the Wicked Witch.
The chimney specialists at Detroit City Sweep unclog flues of soot and other buildup that might be preventing proper ventilation and posing a safety risk. After laying down a protective barrier to prevent damage to carpeting or interior surfaces, the sweep sets about brushing the chimney from top to bottom. Over the course of the visit, which can last up to 45 minutes, he also performs a 26-point safety inspection and, once finished, informs the homeowner when the fireplace is again safe for use. In keeping with the unclogging theme, the team also performs dryer vent cleanings and gutter cleaning, wherein they remove sticks, leaves, and other detritus from the gutter so that rainwater might run off unimpeded. Detroit City Sweep also offers masonry repair services.
Tarnow Doors has been opening the door to a world of high-quality doors since 1966. With full lines of Clopay garage doors, Therma-Tru entry doors, Fox storm doors, and Flyaway motorized screens, Tarnow helps customers procure an aesthetically appealing and safe entryway for any part of the domicile. Transmitters ($35 average), key pads ($50 average), and garage door openers ($350 for installation) are also available, and the experienced staff is on-hand to provide door-related service calls ($85 plus parts). Whether you've recently moved into a new house or just need an update on an old entryway, you can call Tarnow for a pricing estimate and find a door to fit the size and style of your home.

It's getting to be that time of year-when scholarship deadlines are about to expire.
Whether you currently attend college or are looking forward to the fall when you start your freshman year, it's never to early (or too late) to start looking for scholarship money.
Every year, billions of dollars worth of scholarships are open to students to compete for, according to FinAid.org, a non-profit website that helps inform students about their financial aid options.
If you're a senior in high school senior planning on attending college in the fall, many of the scholarships out there are aimed for you.
Often times, universities automatically apply students for scholarships when they apply for admissions, but that should not be the end of the scholarship hunt. For many students, attending a four-year institution or out-of-state college can seem out of reach, but by applying for multiple scholarships, those expensive dreams can be within reach.
To best understand how to reach those goals, I've spoken to Sam Lim, the founder and executive director of Scholarship Junkies and Fulbright Scholar himself. Scholarship Junkies is a website designed to help students nationwide (and sometimes even worldwide) get the best advantage while searching and applying for scholarships. Some tips from Lim:
1. Apply for multiple scholarships.
The only scholarship you're guaranteed to not get is the one you don't apply for. It's just like when you apply for colleges, sometimes you have reach schools - in this case national scholarship awards - that may be more competitive. Other times you need to apply for smaller or local scholarships that come with higher odds of winning (since fewer people apply). Any money is free money.
2. Determine how you stand out.
Not all scholarships are given based on grades or financial need. You don't need to be a perfect student to win a scholarship.
"Why do you do the things you do?" Lim said he asks students. While your grades may not be a perfect 4.0, being involved in after school activities, clubs, sports or volunteer work can benefit your student profile.
By showing how you choose to spend your free time, it shows what kind of person you are.
That being said, quality is better than quantity, Lim said. You shouldn't do things just to pad your application. Choose things that interest and matter to you.
3. Get feedback and help on your essays.
This doesn't have to be a teacher, but most English teachers will be willing to look over essays to help guide you in the right direction (at least mine was). There suggestions with flow, fluency, grammar and topic can be really helpful when it comes to making your essay stand out.
Trade essays with friends. Have your parents look over it. Email it to a cousin or older who is already in college. Get as much helpful feedback as you can.
This area is where Scholarship Junkies differs from other scholarship sites. They offer free essay feedback within a 24 to 48 hour period with a relatively easy upload tool on their website. They give detailed, in copy notes along with an overall summary on how to improve, Lim said.
Even if you feel it might be a silly question or if you have a hard time asking for help, through Scholarship Junkies, former scholarship winners will edit and provide feedback on your essay within two days.
4. It's okay to talk about your challenges.
Grades give a very short story when it comes to your academic success. And sometimes family situations can prohibit those outside activities that sound so good on your application.
If you have to take care of your younger siblings or have dealt with a serious illness, it's more important to show that your time is being spent well, Lim said.
5. Show some passion.
Most scholarships are offered to students who can show they're a good investment, Lim said.
If you can translate what you enjoy doing into a career direction or an area of study, that can mean the difference, Lim said. Connect what you enjoy doing and learning to what you plan on doing in the future.
Although you may not know exactly which major you will chose, finding an area that interests and energizes you can put you at the top of the pile.
And if you hate writing essays, try to find alternative scholarships where you can make a video, write a poem or submit a portfolio.
6. Search. Search. Search. Here's a couple jumping off points from my days of scholarship surfing along with a few new ones from Scholarship Junkies:

OK Remy, give me some ideas :-)! I'll do my best. I would love something along the lines of Canadian Border Patrol, Eyelashes, Lunar Max, etc. I look forward to this swap! Oh, Oh, I would LOVE CREOLE CAVALIER! LoL Tina |
Hi all, I just got home from the local exchange a little while ago. I got some very nice plants! Gottagarden(of the nice Cottage Gardening Forum pics)and I swapped a bunch of goodies. MaryB(of the Traveling Daylilies) brought me a Spider Daylily(name escapes me at the moment) and instead of another daylily she brought the hosta 'Whirlwind' because my husband likes hostas: ) Anyway,Tina, I'm not real up on daylilies, I like more open formed ones, but I'll really be happy with any shape. I would like color in a pink, rose, or purple range if possible. And you're getting what I give you and you're going to like it! lol. |

Patty2257 Welcome & I will get you all the players information sent out tomorrow so you can print them out . is there anyone else that need names & addresses ?? have a great night all. |
- Posted by hummingbirddaisy 5a (My Page) on Sun, Jun 4, 06 at 21:27
LoL, yes ma'am! 'spose I should have looked at your list first, eh! ;-) I went to a swap yesterday and got some goodies as well. 16 new daylilies!!! Yea!!! Most only one fan, but I will be ready to share next year I am sure :-). Got some gorgeous TB Iris. I can't wait to see them bloom next year. Swaps are so much fun. You get to meet everyone, see old friends. And, of course share gardens. Oh, I don't know how many of you know this, as I just learned it today myself, but evidently DHL has taken over shipping packages for USPS and packages are taking much longer to get to their destination, so might want to pack extra well just incase. Tina |
Maryann, Yes, it does seem as though we are joined at the hip. lol I was looking at your list of DL's this evening, and I have some that you don't. Whew! I am going to really try to get these out to you in the next couple of days. DH and I are going to be leaving for TX on Wednesday, June 7, to visit my sister. We are going to drive this time just to enjoy the scenery. We plan to be gone for one week, but we are having a very good friend and her son checking in every day doing chores and picking up the mail. It would be best if you waited til we got home from our trip before you mailed anything(just in case you were going to mail between June 7-June 14). Okay? We did find out tonight that DH's mother was in the hospital over the week-end so don't know if this will mean putting our vacation plans on hold. I will let you know when your box goes out in the mail. BTW, I just cringed and got the shivers when I read about what happened to your eye! How are you doing by now? Hugs, Mellen |
- Posted by earthlydelights Z6 PA (My Page) on Mon, Jun 5, 06 at 18:22
hey mary ellen. don't rush to get mine out. i can wait until you are done with your vacation. i still have plenty around here to get in the ground, plus i'm pampering my two new pooches. i have to go through your list too and do some research so i don't send ya what you don't want. i believe the rules are ship by the 16th, so we're good, my friend. my eye is much better now (thank God). thanks for asking. it's just another stupid klutzy act on my part and my fourth major eye injury in my lifetime. i'm lucky i still have my eyes! enjoy your vacation, i agree great way to travel. good thoughts and prayers for your mother in law. maryanne |

Hi Susie K( and everyone else too) I'm back in MD actually a couple days early. the weather was not very cooperative so i just kept driving in places where I had planned to stay and camp or at least hike and take pictures. Well there is PLEANTY to do here to fill up the "extra" time. OK, Susie, I'll be checking your lists and see what I have to send you some things you will like for your gardens. The hostas look terrific this year...lots of rain by the looks of things Susie wish I had known where there was a nic enursery in OHIO. I drove through there and would loved to have a stop for buying plants. Don't know where I would have put them but I found room for some hostas and sure could have squeezed in some day lilies too It was a LONG trip and I'm feeling beat but my plants made it fine. Even at the border crossings where they seem more particular than even right after 9/11. They kept asking about citrus and beef and poultry products. All for now, Beth B |

Carol-Yes ma'am I have wants!!! I want you to update your trade list-you stated that you have new daylilies coming and I need to know what they are. It seems that Most of what I have, you do also, with a few exceptions. Inquiring minds want to know. It's be a darned shame if I had to go out and buy some new ones... (not) We've been on many swaps/robins together and this will be the first time we've been paired up. How cool is that? |

Uh Oh! I think I may have miss read. I have blooming size SINGLE FANS available. Does this disqualify me from this months swap? Sorry for the mistake. Remy, is single fans ok with you? Tina |
Tina, How weird I stop by to look and a message for me. Anyway, hat is fine with me: ) I'll be digging and sending your box on Monday if that is good with you. Beth, I'm glad you had a safe trip. If you don't mind my asking,I'm wondering why you go from one place to another? I don't remember anyone saying why, lol. Remy |

Whhoooo Whooo Whooo, somebody bring me a fan. Suzie Girl that was an awesome box if gooodies!!! The post man carried it out to the counter and I thought, MM "big box". He handed it to me and I thought, mmmm Heavy too. I couldn't get into it in the car. I tried but Miss Suzie had taped it too well. I got home and grabbed a knife and started unpacking..... Holey Moley Suzie. What a lot of BEAUTIFUL plants!!!! I obviously got Way More than I bargained for. The "noids" looked beautiful and several have buds so I'll soon see what colors they are. There were two buds broken off and lying loose in the box. That is sad but not disasterous. Others are intact and I'm betting they will bloom soon. Then I started on the named ones and whowzwer, none that I had before!!! Some I did not recognise the names. One being Zella Virginia. That was a very pretty peachy pinkish double. I think i have only one double before this and I'll send you a piece of that one. Then I looked up , Trahluta,No go but found Trahlyta. If thats it.... it is a georgeous lavendar with darker purple markings. Can't wait to see that one. Suzie, I'm so glad you went to the nursery in Ohio and then shared with me. The only thing that could have made it better was if we had been able to meet there and BOTH loads our cars> LOL Wouldn't that be a blast? Love the fat little blue hen . I used to go to Blue Hen Mall but I think it is closed now. The little lillycup with dragonflies on it is adorable too. Which makes me wonder... do you have a pond? I have pond lilies. Carol, ditch lilies are just beginning to bloom here I'll get a pic. Remy, I've been working as a "travel Nurse" since my DH passed way. Made the mistake of falling in love with Alaska and buying a place there. I'm working on a house and garden on the east coast where I will retire "if I live long enough". So I bounce back and forth. Used to love the drive but find it both tiring and very expensive recently so I hope the major wanderings are comming to a close soon. I "garden" wherever I go but the main place is here in MD. It is a lot of work but making progress. Anita, I need your address. Suzie, I should be getting a box out Monday and again Thanks So much. This box is overwhelming. Oh and the hosta too.. Suzie sent a large plant of Honey Bells. Don't think I have that one either. Thank You, Thank You, ThankYou!!!*** |

Carol-Love my hat. I will get DH to take a picture of me in it. You did a great job. I had it on this evening doing my yard work. Really helps keep the sun out of your eyes. WHAT A NICE MISTAKE...Sorry grannymarsh, Carols box was awesome. She sent me: The cutest hat she made with my name and cute things glued on it. Notepad...I go through these like crazy. Needed Salvia 'Golden Delicious'---Love the salvia, a new one too. OK now I know to send to grannymarsh, Martha. Will let you know when I ship. Thanks for all the fun Carol. Things like this keep life interesting. You should have seen my face when I saw you sent it. I thought I was messed up until I came in and read all the posts again. Anita you did good. Everything worked out fine. I have never sent to grannymarsh before. Shirley |

Shirley,I picked everything out special for you so Glad Anita covered me. I keep losing that darn dahlia list but The first person I shared them with e-mailed me a list. if you post the numbers on them. I will look up what they are. happy you liked your boxI wanna see your pic in that hat tho. they are great for keeping the sun out of your eyes. golden delicious is a new variety of pineapple sage, will be covered with red flowers late summer. this is my first year with it also but with those leaves and red flowers it should be beautiful.my chickens are still laying, their names are finger, likin and good not the eggs, I don't name them, I will be eating the eggs.It is fun picking what it is ok for them to eat from my flower garden yesterday they had a salad of a ditch lilly,pansy and nasturtium flower, with a sprig of valerian and choclate mint. chickens are fun hugs to all carol |
- Posted by brittneysgran z6NC (My Page) on Sun, Jun 11, 06 at 15:36
Carol-Oh that's funny. Love the chicken names. No I wouldn't name the eggs either. You don't want to name them and then eat them. DH can't do anything right (hope he don't see this) he took some pictures of me in the hat but they are so far away you couldn't see me let along the hat. Will try again. Ditch lily salad? Sounds interesting. Shirley |

Sue, we had a good rain the past day or so and the plants are looking super. Thanks again. And, when are you going to have a Marguerita party for all of us?

Jan and Anita, disregard that last post. I actually was able to get your boxes out today. Anita, I didn't have any named daylilies I could send that you don't already have so I didn't send a daylily but I hope you like your gift anyway. Theresa |

- Posted by pattygrow5 z6Pa (email@example.com) on Sat, Jun 17, 06 at 21:33
Pattyp your box was great there were like 20 daylilies in the box you sent me I don't know if they were all different or not but it was a daylily swap but I don't have a lot so I checked your wants and just sent stuff from there. Thanks Patty |
Maryanne, Your pink flower is a Malva. I have the white version, but I don't know the full name. Anyway, it is a type of malva. My husband I went to Bar Harbor a couple of Augusts ago! I've never seen my husband so happy as when we went on the whale watch. It was a nice place to go on vaction. I like the free bus, because parking is tough. We stayed at the Holiday Inn. They had great landscaping at the hotel. Jordan's retaurant has the best breakfasts, not fancy, but very good. Remy |
Hello, hello, Mellen is back. Vee, are you needing more Depends? Is that what you are asking for? You know I can easily send you more? Just keep it up girl! :) Maryann, I will get your box ready to send out on Monday. Will you be home next week to get the package? As far as you sending to me, I will be gone again Wed.-Friday of this next week. We will be taking DS and his girlfriend back to MN and staying a couple of extra days. There will not be anyone here this time to take care of our mail. Will that work for you? I'm afraid that I am going to have to sit out the next couple months of swaps. Have some things going on here at home. If anyone thinks I should drop out completely, I understand and will do that. Just let me know privately, please. Thanks, Mellen/Mary Ellen |
- Posted by earthlydelights Z6 PA (My Page) on Sun, Jun 18, 06 at 10:38
mary ellen, welcome back/ don't rush to send, i can still wait, not a problem. we can both wait until you return this time around. glad to know you are back safe. wonderful that you got to spend some additional time with your son. remy, thanks so much. i did winter sow malva two seasons back, so that has to be what it is. if not, it is now :) in bar harbor, we are going to stay at one of those housekeeping cottage type places, mainly because i can bring the dogs with me. i too look forward to whale watching. i'd like to do the nova scotia excursion, and then while i'm in maine, i'd like to eat lobster for breakfast, lunch and dinner. not asking for much, hey? i checked out that bus as well, it goes all around town and into the park, so we will never be at a loss. plus, i will bring our bikes with us. i jotted down the name jordan's, we'll make sure to check it out. happy sunday everyone, happy blooms. |
Maryanne, I'm thinking it may be Malva fastigiata. Very pretty. Theresa |
- Posted by veeja11 z7Wa (email@example.com) on Sun, Jun 18, 06 at 16:50

- Posted by earthlydelights Z6 PA (My Page) on Mon, Jun 19, 06 at 18:24
patty LOL. i was hoping they were a weed. i would have shot myself if i had been pulling something worthwhile. and talk about weeds. i feel so ashamed, i'm inundated with them this year. i don't know why, all i seem to do is weed and every one i pull out, there's 5 more. shirley, i have asiatics everywhere. some named, some not. all just gorgeous. next are the orientals. my daylilies are just starting. i'm dowloading pix now and will post some later. also, i sent a list with all the addresses. sue, no definite plans yet. maybe closer to fall as it looks now. i will be certain to let you know though! be well all, happy blooms |
- Posted by veeja11 z7Wa (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Jun 19, 06 at 21:43
Shirley being late is ok as long as you keep us informed and send eventually. I am not sure which dahlias I sent you but 7 is smokey 8 summers end 9. passion 10. goodwill 90 I hope hope yours are one of these numbers it has been cool here and everything is growing slow except the weeds. Susie NO WEEDING!!No newbies for awhile whats up? Hugs to all dependless in seattle and wanna stay that way |
- Posted by beth_b_kodiak MD zone 7 (My Page) on Tue, Jun 20, 06 at 14:48
Maryanne, did you gte a definate ID on your pink flower yet? I agree with Remy about it being a mallow. Saw one today called "Tree MAllow" same color and notched look on the edges with the squarish shape. Wish I had a pen to write down the scientific name but maybe you can just google Tree Mallow. Guess I better go pull out those tall things like Sue has. LOL,I was saving them on the off chance that they might be phlox.Oh well, I do have my first dahlia bloomimng. It is a real pale yellow. Not very exciting but goes well with my yellow, orange purple theme. Today it REALLY feels like summer is here. |
- Posted by grannymarsh z4-5 U.P. MICH (My Page) on Tue, Jun 20, 06 at 15:49
Those tall 'weeds' look like solidago/goldenrod. They look nice in arrangements later in the Summer. |

Hi all ~ Remy, glad you received your package today. I didn't plan it this way, but today is my moms Heaven Date, and she loved lilies of all kinds, so it seems fitting that they arrived to you today :-) Mary Ellen ~ I sat the tropical hibiscus that you gave me last year in memory of my mom out in the front yard today. I sat it beside the lemon tree she started by seed, and the tree we bought in memory of my dad. I think it looks pretty nice. Thank you. I really enjoyed the swap this month. Thanks for having me! Hugs to all ~ |

wow tina, a year already? although all the days are tough, i think the first anniversary is the worst. you relive it minute by minute. i said a prayer for you and your family, i will again before bed. i sure hope while you were trying to occupy the kids, someone was taking care of you as well. so, 14 is a driving age in your state? that's young. i know it's a different day and age, but i always wonder if my parents would have caved to the cell phone thing and i don't believe they would have. although, my father was a real phone nut. he died right around the time cordless were booming. he called me one time from around the corner from the house just to see how far he could get reception. darn, i miss him. once he gave my mom so much flack for this 2 hour call to michigan and at the time the only person we could figure that lived there was my dad's friend dave...so he hollared at her for naught! i have a funny story, well, funny to me. i was on my way to see my niece at her job. she works for rita's water ice (do ya all have them - know what it is?) anyway, on my way to the car, i stopped and smelled the flowers. when i got there, the line as usual was long and as i waited and got closer, i realized when it was to be my turn, it wouldn't have been my niece, so i told the guy that was in line (a real cutie pie too) to go ahead, because i was waiting and why. we chatted for a while until it was our respective turns. as i get up to the window, my niece looks at me funny and says "don't you wash your face"? here, pollen was all over LOL i turn to the guy and say buddy, we talked that whole time and you never said a word. he told me he thought that was the look i was going for, and didn't want to offend me! too funny. at least i think it was. hmmm, i could have sworn i resized those pictures. sorry for those that it took forever to load. can you believe it's the 22nd of june already? where does the time go? my job ends tomorrow. i couldn't be happier. broke, but happy. so maureen, make sure my christmas in july man is employed :) prayers for flooded texans and ohioians (is that what they call them?) happy blooms, |

Shirley-you sweet thing. Your box darned near left me speechless. (I was talking bad to the mosquitoes and black flies when the mail lady drove up). Every plant that you sent was outstanding and new to me. Such fun to google for the images- oohs and ahs !! DD's can't wait for them to grow, my daughters love to "shop" in my gardens. Shirley sent me a nice note and this is what she sent: Daylilies: All American Eagle Among My Souvenirs Amy Mitchell Bubbly Chicago Arnie's Choice Matt Moonlit Masquerade Seminole Wind Iris: Not only did you get me an Amy, you also gave me a Matt. They lovelies are all planted in their new homes. DH asked me not to add any more new flower beds this year, as I am struggling with the cast on my arm. Well, I haven't added any NEW ones, but he did catch me making some of them one foot wider all around. I just gave him my best "sweet young thing" smile. Thank heavens it still works on him--ain't love grand? ! |
Hi all, I really do need to take pictures and post. I just love all the photos. Maryanne, Is Rita's Water Ice like an Italian Ice stand? Tina, Sorry to hear about your mother. My mother died over 20 years ago now from Breast Cancer. She was only 38. It is still sad sometimes. My mother's favorite were roses and mine are too. We didn't get along all that well, but in the garden we did. Not sure why, but working in the garden seems to make people nicer: ) Remy |

I got the most wonderful surprise today -- a package from skohler (Susie) for my June birthday. Susie, I am so touched that you would think from me. I got a cute garden notebook (always need that!)a BHG 30-minute meals book - I don't have this one and my goodness I need it. My husband and I pull in the driveway at night at the same time and he is hungry hungry hungry RIGHT NOW - LOL! Some great sunflower and pink silene seeds that I didn't have and a bag of goodies - a granola bar (I love to have these at work in the morning!) Orange Creme Savers - shhh I'm hiding them from my DD - her favorite! and some chocolates. You really made my day Susie, thank you so much! |

did we wrap up june with everyone sending and receiving? theresa, did you ever receive your box from jan? did you send a box to her? has anyone heard from jan? sue? carol? if theresa sent and did not receive, are we going to make it up to her? |
Yes, I sent and did not receive but Susie knows about it and I think has called Jan. No need to make it up. I'm okay with it. Theresa |

Susie has volunteered to make up a box to Theresa, Jan will have to sit out three swaps. Bad Jan!!! |

i would be more than happy to add to it sue, wouldn't be the first time i sure hope all is well with jan. i wouldn't have expected this from her, especially in light of the fact that she accepted the box from theresa and then did not keep her end of the bargain. be well all, happy blooms. |
